General

Key	Type	Default	Description	Restrictions
ServerName	String	"Custom Minecraft Server (fCraft)"	The name of the server, as shown on the welcome screen and the official server list (if server is public).	Between 1 and 64 characters long.
MOTD	String	"Welcome to the server!"	MOTD (Message Of The Day) is a message shown to connecting players right under the server name. It may be left blank. If WoMEnableEnvExtensions is enabled, non-WoM users will not see this.	Between 0 and 64 characters long.
MaxPlayers	Integer	20	Maximum number of players on the server. Having more players uses more RAM and more bandwidth. If a player's rank is given a "reserved slot" on the server, they can join even if server is full.	Between 1 and 1000.
MaxPlayersPerWorld	Integer	20	Maximum number of players allowed to be on the same world at the same time. Minecraft protocol limits total number of players per world to 128. Note that having more people on a world increases everyone's bandwidth use.	Between 1 and 128.
DefaultRank	Rank	Blank ("lowest rank")	New players will be assigned this rank by default. It's generally a good idea not to give new players many powers until they prove themselves trustworthy.	Full rank name. Leave blank for "lowest rank."
IsPublic	True/False	False	Public servers are listed on minecraft.net server list, so expect random players to join. Private servers can only be joined by players who already know the server port/address or URL. Note that the URL changes if your computer's IP or server's port change.	"True" or "False"
Port	Integer	25565	Port number on your local machine that fCraft uses to listen for incoming connections. If you are behind a router, you may need to set up port forwarding. You may also need to add a firewall exception for ServerGUI/ServerCLI/ConfigGUI. Note that your server's URL will change if you change the port number.	Between 1 and 65535.
UploadBandwidth	Integer (KB/s)	100	Total available upload bandwidth, in kilobytes per second (KB/s). This number is used to pace drawing commands to prevent server from overwhelming the Internet connection with data.	Between 1 and 32767.

Worlds

Key	Type	Default	Description	Restrictions

If folder does not exist, fCraft will attempt to create it. Requires a full server restart to change the setting (cannot be updated with /Reload). If the command-line "mappath" parameter is given, this setting is overridden.	Absolute path, or path relative to the working path. Leave blank for default value ("./maps/").

Security

Key	Type	Default	Description	Restrictions
VerifyNames	Enumeration	"Balanced"	Name verification ensures that connecting players are not impersonating someone else. "Always" uses only the main verification method. It can sometimes produce false negatives - for example if server has just restarted, or if minecraft.net heartbeats are timing out. "Balanced" checks player's current and on-record IP address to eliminate false negatives. "Never" is dangerous, and may allow players to impersonate others.	"Never" / "Balanced" / "Always"
MaxConnectionsPerIP	Integer	0 ("unlimited")	Restricts the number of connections allowed from any one IP address. Note that all players on the same LAN will share an IP, and may be prevented from joining together.	Between 1 and 2147483647, or 0 for "unlimited".
AllowUnverifiedLAN	True/False	False	Allow players from your local network (LAN) to connect without name verification. May be useful if minecraft.net is blocked on your LAN for some reason, or your LAN friends are having trouble joining. Warning: Unverified players can log in with ANY name - even as you! Do not enable this on public networks.	"True" or "False"
PatrolledRank	Rank	Blank ("default rank")	When players use /Patrol or /SpecPatrol commands, they will be teleported to players of this (or lower) rank. "Patrolling" means teleporting to other players to check on them, usually while hidden.	Full rank name. Leave blank for "default rank."
AntispamMessageCount	Integer	4	Number of messages that a player needs to type within AntispamInterval seconds to trigger the AntiSpam warning. Set this to 0 to disable AntiSpam.	Between 2 and 64, or 0 for "unlimited".
AntispamInterval	Integer	5	Number of seconds over which the player needs to type AntispamMessageCount messages to trigger AntiSpam warning. Set this to 0 to disable AntiSpam.	Between 1 and 64, or 0 for "unlimited".
AntispamMuteDuration	Integer (Seconds)	5	Duration of automatic mute if AntiSpam is triggered, in seconds. Set this to 0 to disable automatic mute (and only leave the warning).	Between 1 and 86400, or 0 for "disabled".
AntispamMaxWarnings	Integer	2	Number of warnings given to a player (number of times AntiSpam is triggered) before the player is kicked. Set this to 0 to disable automatic kicks.	Between 1 and 64, or 0 for "disabled".
PaidPlayersOnly	True/False	False	Only allow players who have a paid Minecraft account (not recommended). This will help filter out griefers with throwaway accounts, but will also prevent many legitimate players from joining.	"True" or "False"
RequireBanReason	True/False	False	Require players to specify a reason/memo when banning or unbanning someone.	"True" or "False"
RequireKickReason	True/False	False	Require players to specify a reason/memo when kicking someone.	"True" or "False"

BlockDBEnabled	True/False	True	If enabled, allows edit information to be stored per-block. Enables /BlockDB, /BInfo, /UndoArea, and /UndoPlayer commands. Requires a full server restart to change the setting (cannot be updated with /Reload).	"True" or "False"
BlockDBAutoEnable	True/False	True	Automatically enabled BlockDB on all worlds editable by a certain rank or below. Has no effect unless BlockDBEnabled is set to "True"	"True" or "False"
BlockDBAutoEnableRank	Rank	Blank ("default rank")	Worlds editable by players of this rank (or below) will have BlockDB enabled automatically. Has no effect unless BlockDBEnabled and BlockDBAutoEnable are set to "True"	Full rank name. Leave blank for "default rank."

Saving and Backup

Key	Type	Default	Description	Restrictions
SaveInterval	Integer (Seconds)	90	Auto-save interval for loaded map files. A higher setting (120+ seconds) is recommended for busy servers with many maps.

BackupOnStartup	True/False	False	Whether to create a backup of every map when the server starts.	"True" or "False"
